Doncaster Rovers has a rich history that has been built since its foundation in 1879. The club turned professional in 1885, playing home games at the historic Belle Vue, until 2006 when we moved to the Keepmoat Stadium, a ground-breaking £32 million development on the edge of town.

The Keepmoat Stadium is a multi-use venue, used for live sporting activity by Doncaster Rovers FC, Doncaster Rugby League and Doncaster Belles Ladies’ FC as well as hosting major events and concerts. In addition the facility has become a major hub of the business community, with a great number of local companies choosing the stadium as their home. The all-seater stadium holds 15,200 spectators with first class facilities to deliver for all its uses.

In 2008 Doncaster Rovers were promoted to the Championship after defeating Yorkshire rivals Leeds United at Wembley in the League One Play Off Final. More recently Doncaster Rovers have been promoted as Champions from League One in 2013 and recorded further success in the summer of 2017 by bouncing straight back to League One level after a one year stay in League Two.

We pride ourselves on fan engagement and see ourselves as one of the most progressiveclubs in England. This has been recognised by the Football League after we received the League One Family Club of the Year 2016. We’ve also been awarded the Family Club Excellence Award every year since it’s conception from 2008 until our most recent success in 2017.

We recently introduced a new supporters’ board so fans could play their part in further boosting supporters’ matchday experience. Key issues such as seasonal memberships, match day pricing, kit design and catering are regularly discussed.

One of our main fan engagement initiatives is around kit design. The kit is designed by a fans’ focus group to ensure maximum sales and buy in and has proved immensely popular since it was introduced. Our fan engagement extends to the wider community with activity in over 35 schools throughout the region.
